...and the leadership ought to keep it in mind. The Democratic Party tries to do good things for the populace and in doing so creates a "client base" that will respond at the ballot box. The Republicans simply are pimped for the 1%.

Soon the GOP Noise machine will eventually divert to another red herring issue after people find out that ACA will make their lives better, hoping that the general population will forget the GOP was willing to throw them under the bus.

The GOP will be claiming credit for ACA because voters have the worst memories.
